Art Journal Thursday #22
Good morning!
I am very happy to announce that my Art Journal Thursday video #21 is up on YouTube!
The supplies I used this week were:
- Gesso
- Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic Paints: Tangerine, Magenta, Lime
- Tim Holtz Distress Ink Re-inker: Peeled Paint
- Alesa Baker Designs Wood Mounted Stamp: French Handwriting
- Art Impressions Wood Mounted Rubber Stamp: Squiggly line (that’s what I am calling it)
- Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint: White
- Paper Towel that had mopped up various Dylusions sprays
- Scissors
- Uhu Glue Stick
- Fineline Applicator filled with White Acrylic Paint
- Black Pilot Multiball Pen – my new FAVE doodling pen!!!
If you watched this week’s video, you already know that I really didn’t have any kind of plan when I went into this week’s art journal spread! In all honesty, I just knew that I had to get an art journal video done for this week, but I was so tired from a week of not really taking very good care of myself sleep-wise, compounded with losing another hour of sleep due to daylight savings time, I wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to get this one done!
I decided to help get me into the arting mood that I would listen to some loud happy music, and it worked! Before I knew what hit me, I had found my stride, and was once again a very VERY happy girl! 😉
I had a lot of fun this week just putting down colors, doodling, and just really letting myself play! I find that when I revert back to my inner, kindergarten Chrissie, that I have a tendency to be really happy with my art journal pages!
This week was no different!!! As soon as I released my inner me, I found myself having fun, and pulling from a pile that I haven’t really played with in a while – and that was my stash of used paper towels, which may not seem like something to be proud of, but trust me, I am!!! I just LOVE finding new ways to use treasures from my stash!!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed watching this week’s video! I really hope that these weekly videos can, in some way, inspire you to try something new in your own art journals – that would be so AMAZING to me!!! 😉
What do you think of this week’s spread? I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!! 🙂
Also, if you have any ideas, or techniques that you might like to see me try in one of my future layouts, please let me know in the comment section and I will see what I can do to be accommodating! Also, I really do LOVE answering any questions you may have about art journaling, mixed-media, or anything you might have seen me do here! Please feel free to ask questions in the comments, and I will try and get back to you in a timely manner!!
Until next time!
Here is to a BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE life! 😉
